Lot 769		Autographed "The Space Store Sluggers" Tee Shirt. "The Space Store" was a store devoted exclusively to Space Memorabilia. It was located directly across from the main enterence to the Johnson Space Center on NASA Road One in Houston, TX. Run by a dynamo renaissance woman named Dayna Steele (who has since written a GREAT motivational book "Rock to the Top" - about the rock and roll stars she knew personally as the No. 1 Rock and Roll disc jockey in Houston). The store, unfortunately, fell victim a couple of years ago to 1) the times and 2) the widening of NASA Road One and construction of a new freeway intersection. The Space Store was, and will be remembered as, the top grossing retail space store in the US. Anyway, they sponsored a baseball team composed of local residants (some of whom are/were astronauts, astronaut and NASA family members, etc. who live in close proximity to JSC and the store). This tee shirt (with NASA color logo on the front, size M), one of only about 10 created, is signed a majority of the team members, all 20+ of them. Note some of the names (not that we want to name-drop) such as Jim Voss, Kevin Kregel, Doug Hurley, Charlie Precourt (just to name a few). While not the usual sort of space memorabilia you are used to seeing in our auctions, this tee shirt is definitely a part of that history, just from a different point of view. Remember, astronauts are people too and they have lives outside of NASA and the space program. Minor faults, but in new condition. This is a lot you will not want to overlook. Estimated Value $150 - 250. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold

Estimated Value $150 - 250. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $184
Lot 771		Retirement Presentation Photo (20x16") picturing assembly of the International Space Station and matted to 24x20". The mat is signed by over 50 of the consignor's co-workers and friends at NASA. We note the autograph of Terry Slezak among those signing this piece. Some of you might remember that Terry was the NASA photo tech and first human to directly touch moon dust when he opened the Hasselblad camera (to develop the film) used on the moon by Neil Armstrong during Apollo 11. Unbeknownst to him, the camera had been dropped on the lunar surface and the insides were covered in moon dust. Since it was unknown at the time whether or not moon dust contained pathogens dangerous to the human race, Terry was immediately quarantined with the crew of Apollo 11 and thus preserved his 15 minutes of fame in the history of the Space Program. Attractive. Estimated Value $150 - 250. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $127

An interesting lot that includes various NASA printed publications including a "Lunar Landing Site Summary" book, soft cover booklets from Apollo 12 and Apollo 13, a "Project Gemini" booklet, etc. Worth a close look.
